A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Turn Burn Out Into Bliss and Embrace Joy

on
Last weekend my youngest was committed to going to the "Water Steps" a man-made water fall in Pittsburgh by the rivers. (Fun Fact: Three rivers converge in Pittsburgh--The Ohio River, The Monongahela River, and the Allegheny River.)  He kept asking. I knew he was serious when he said, "If you won't take me, I'll ask  daddy!" Given that it was highly unlikely that would happen on an unscheduled day, I relented. So, we went. It wasn’t planned in the way most things in my life are. No calendar block. No checklist. No “productive” purpose attached. And, so in some respects it was uncomfortable. And yet, it seemed necessary. It was the idea of my 8-year-old—offered with the kind of urgency only children possess when something is profoundly important to them.

National Ice Cream Day

Growing up, our family celebrated special events with ice cream. Something about sharing that the cold, creamy, delicious treat made us all happier!

Ice Cream makes people smile

Indeed, every chorus recital, fashion show, and talent show was made more special by a trip to Friendly’s. Growing up, my favorite sundae was the “Reece’s Pieces”. If you haven’t had it, I highly recommend it. That thing is so good, eating it is almost a religious experience!
